Re: The current state of Magic

People pay him to play shit decks, so when I want to see something like Modern Whir played 4 weeks before anyone else knows it exists, he is my guy. But I am there for the deck, if someone else had gameplay up I would watch them too.

It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.

Yeah everyone else at this point seems to be playing standard or drafting on arena so often he's the only streamer not doing that

Re: The current state of Magic

I answered "No" because there's no coherent plan behind what WotC is doing - how are they going to do esports when they don't even stream their esport events (Magic Fests are officially labeld "esports" instead of TCG by WotC now)?

Ah yes, E for Electronic.

Nothing more E-sporty than a competition that specifically bans the use of electronics.

Oscar: You can't just say bankruptcy esport and have it be true
Michael: I didn't say it. I declared it.

I'm not sure what you are talking about.

Nothing screams "e-sports" to me more than trying to figure out what is going in a match between glare, card sleeves and anime art while at the same time listening to Marshall Sutcliffe try to validate why he was given the position of a commentator when he clearly has no experience with the format being covered.

Here is a random selection of alternatives to get you started: echopraxia, endeixis, erotesis, or (and this is the best one in this selection) euonymous.

Stop cheating at scrabble my dude.

Re: The current state of Magic

Anyone trying to argue that the E in Esports is anything but electronic is deluding themselves and reaching.

Also Wizards has made the wrong decisions in almost everything for the past ten years. From events, to art (their art direction went to community college), to support. Almost everything.

With the exceptions of making the game appeal to the lowest common denominator and their pumping out master sets and overall bloating of retail prices while cutting quality and cost to the bone. This is the only thing keeping them around. As long as normies and magictcg gobble up the cheap paper printed memes by the boatload (and they will) the ivory tower at seattle will survive despite its retardation in every other department.

Re: The current state of Magic

Nowdays, esports is just a term for corporate suits for a thing that magically prints money, kinda like radiation giving you superpowers or nanomachines doing all kind of silly things in fiction:

The best thing about esports in multiplayer games is it forces the devs to balance the game around 14 year olds with no life and the fast twitch reflexes of a super-computer. Which in turn makes playing the game suck for the regular folks who don't have any of that bullshit but DO provide 100% of the actual revenue.
